Our Community Fridge provides extra support for when your budget is tight.

It's stocked with food donated by local businesses and suppliers, often items nearing their sell-by date but still perfectly good to eat. You'll find a range of items like fresh produce, snacks, and cupboard essentials, all available for free.

Please note: We're currently closed as we relocate to our new Charles Street location, but we'll be back with more free food from Monday 12 January 2026.
